Abbey walk
I remember the old houses opposite our house being flattened to make way for the multi-storey car park. It was exciting watching the construction traffic. I was 4. Once the shell was built the workforce always finished at 7 in the evening and all the floodlights went off. I think it was completed in early 1970 because I recall playing on the ground floor on a summer Sunday when the car park was closed. My mate and I were playing football with the lads from Garden Street. The ball echoed as the car park was empty. The other place for football was 'round the back' in Gresswell's garage yard, an enclosed stadium! It is now Somerfield's supermarket. Last edited: 28/06/2006 15:43 by Alan Offiler |

 Laceby, Old Chapel Lane c1960 (ref: L228005) |
3 Old Chapel Lane A memory of Laceby, South Humberside My grandparents, Reginald and Elizabeth Smith, lived at #3 Old Chapel Lane, the second house from the right in the photo. What a shock to see it! It brings back wonderful memories of them and my childhood. Posted: 29/07/2008 18:35 by Matthew Smith |

 Humberston, Beacholme Holiday Camp c1965 (ref: h320035) |
My first love at beacholme A memory of Humberston, South Humberside I was probably only about 8 years old but I remember it oh so well. It was upstairs in the disco, she came from Leeds. We spent more holidays here than I can remember as a child, me, my sister Lorraine and my mam and dad Doreen and Maurice Horne. Sadly my dad's not with us now. We had some lovely times. I used to love the zoo which is now of course pPeasure Island. Oh and the paddling pool up by the boating lake. Last edited: 27/02/2007 09:35 by Jeffrey Horne |

Year: 1949
Beacholme Camp A memory of Humberston, South Humberside I remember vaguely seeing trolley buses and motor buses which were converted into living accomodation, even a tram car with the upstairs windows painted out,that would have been the sleeping quarters I would imagine, and at the eastern edge of the camp were tents, mostly ex-army. We must remember that the war was not long over and people had to make do with what was available. About 1953, I was stood at door of the camp club across the road, we kids could sit at rear of the club outside as there was a kind of shelter where we have bottles of pop and crisps brought out by our parents. My mum told me who the "old man" on the stage was, it was the late (Sir) Bernard Miles who was doing his stage act. I can also recollect seeing lots of rusty barbed wire strewn along the beach, another legacy left over from the war. At that time as you came into the camp the wooden reception office was on the right where you would buy your calor gas bottle and hire your golf clubs for the putting green opposite, for sixpence a round. At the side was the kiosk of the camp photographer Alan, and a bit further along was the open air stage where the childrens' talent shows were held. At the side of the reception office there was a large old pre-war caravan painted with what looked like black tar, selling fish and chips for seven pence (abut 4p in today's money). There were no dining halls in those days (we were tough???). Looking back now, I loved every minute of being at Beacholme, from 1948 to 1957, it broke my heart when we had to leave. Best wishes to you all from Ireland. Last edited: 04/09/2006 06:09 by Brian Nolan |

 Patrington, Market Place c1960 (ref: P184020) |
Year: 1920s
my family A memory of Patrington, North Humberside I have just started to trace my family tree and found that my mother was born in the pub in Patrington market place in the year 1922. The family name being Melbourne. Does anybody have any memories of the people who owned that pub around that time or even a little later. It would make interesting reading.
